1234 Letter, you didn't take my words to heart
The emperor has been very busy recently. Not to mention causing trouble for Feng Qingchen, he is too busy with his own affairs. Several people reported the worst-hit areas, and after investigating, they actually found Prince Chun. All the money these people made was given to Prince Chun as a filial piety.
The military's withholding of military funds eventually implicated Prince Luo. It was at this moment that the emperor realized how much his sons had done under his nose and how much power they had seized.
The emperor was immediately furious, and he felt that his authority as an emperor was challenged. As the emperor, although he wanted to appoint a crown prince, he did not want his power to be taken away by his sons. How could the emperor not be angry when one of his two sons interfered in the appointment of officials and the other interfered in military power?
The emperor not only had to deal with disasters in various places, but also had to suppress several of his sons. He could only ask ordinary people to snatch the tokens, and the elites had to be kept to deal with people in the court.
These people did try to attack several times, but before they could get close, they were discovered by the Feng Mansion's secret guards.
With the Ninth Prince gone, the Feng Mansion had more than one generation of secret guards, and the Emperor couldn't rob openly, so he was bound to be restricted when acting in secret. Feng Qingchen was happy to have some free time, as she knew that after this incident, the Emperor would be busy for most of the next six months.
There is no need to play tricks on the emperor, so other matters need to be put on the agenda, such as the treatment of Chunhui, Qiuhua and Dongqing.
According to Feng Qingchen's intention, she wanted to send the person back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Since Xia Wan had problems, she was not confident in using the other three, but...
Upon learning that the secret guard maid she had sent back was directly exiled to Beiling by the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen fell silent again. They had been together for such a long time and had developed feelings for each other. Chun Hui and the others usually served her very attentively. Moreover, after sending these three away, she would definitely promote new maids. No one could guarantee whether there were any new maids planted by others among them.
Feng Qingchen had been hesitant for a while, not knowing what to do. At this time, the Ninth Prince sent someone to deliver a letter to her, and the person who sent the letter was actually...
"Xia Wan?" Feng Qingchen's eyes widened. Didn't she order the killing of Xia Wan? How could...
Xia Wan smiled and bowed to Feng Qingchen: "Xia Wan greets the young lady." She was as charming and lovely as when they first met, without the slightest uneasiness or fear.
What is going on?
Feng Qingchen was stunned, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he opened the letter from the Ninth Uncle.
The first sentence in the letter was not a greeting, nor an expression of longing, but an accusation: Feng Qingchen, you didn’t take my words to heart!!!
Damn, it has to be so intense.
Feng Qingchen was startled by the three exclamation marks. The Ninth Prince had said so many things, how could she know which one he was referring to? But she understood after reading on.
Damn, it turns out that sentence "all loyalty is for betrayal at the last moment" was meant to remind her to pay attention to the people around her. It's so mysterious that it really leaves me speechless.
After reading the whole article, it is full of dissatisfaction with her, saying that Your Highness was too lenient towards the Emperor, and that she should not put the blame on the Ministry of Justice, but should point the finger directly at the Emperor.
The way of spreading rumors is too slow and too childish. If you want the emperor to stop, you should hit him hard.
The method of dealing with Xia Wan was too simple and crude. He had known Xia Wan's identity for a long time. Keeping her by Feng Qingchen's side was to train Feng Qingchen and to play with her.
When Feng Qingchen discovered Xia Wan's identity, he should not have exposed it at that time. He should have pretended to make Xia Wan think that she had failed without being exposed.
In this way, knowing Xia Wan's identity, he would be on guard against
Just a little bit will be enough. At the critical moment, I can use Xia Wan's hand to give the emperor a heavy blow.
As a result, Feng Qingchen directly destroyed Xia Wan, the chess piece. Without Xia Wan, it would have been someone else. With Xia Wan here, at least there is no need to worry about the emperor bribing other people.
Feng Qingchen's way of dealing with Xia Wan was too stupid, and he ruined a good move.
…
Throughout the entire article, there was not a single word praising Feng Qingchen. Instead, the author pointed out the imperfections in Feng Qingchen's behavior during this period one by one, and told Feng Qingchen step by step how to deal with such a situation.
Feng Qingchen felt like she was reading a report that had been changed beyond recognition by her instructor. Feng Qingchen was so embarrassed. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince helped her solve a problem in the end.
The woman who delivered the letter is Xia Wan from today on. She replaces the previous Xia Wan and serves Feng Qingchen. This Xia Wan was carefully created by the master of Xuanyi Valley. She looks 90% similar to the original owner, has a similar temperament, and has a clean background.
The Ninth Prince Uncle told Feng Qingchen to use her without worry, and to bring Xia Wan to the palace more often to show the Emperor. Even if she could not use this chess piece, it could at least make the Emperor angry. As for Chun Hui, Qiu Hua and Dong Qing, she could also use them without worry, as these three did not belong to anyone.
Looking at the letter, Feng Qingchen almost cried.
The Ninth Prince is so treacherous, isn't he? He knew that Xia Wan was the emperor's person, but he didn't tell her. Isn't this just playing a trick on the emperor? Woo woo woo... She could have played a trick on the emperor, but she ruined it herself.
Feng Qingchen looked at the girl in front of him who looked exactly like Xia Wan, and waved his hand to let her go back.
Whenever she saw this face, she would think of Xia Wan’s betrayal and couldn’t be happy at all.
Xia Wan, however, acted as if he didn't see anything. He retreated respectfully with a faint smile and found his residence very familiarly. He didn't feel strange at all. If Feng Qingchen was not sure that the previous Xia Wan was dead, he would have suspected that he had seen it wrong.
This Xia Wan should have been secretly trained by the Ninth Prince, preparing to quietly replace the original Xia Wan and become a negative spy, but in the end, she... ruined it!
"It's really hard to guess what the Ninth Prince is thinking. He's so sinister." Feng Qingchen sighed, burned the letter, straightened his clothes, and prepared to enter the palace.
The Ninth Prince said that the Emperor had been very busy recently and had been hurt by the struggle for power among his adult sons, so she should let the Emperor find comfort from his younger sons, such as the Eighth Prince.
Feng Qingchen's reason for looking for Imperial Concubine Xie was very simple, that is, the little prince had to be arranged to undergo surgery within three days, and the location had to be Feng Mansion. He had to recuperate in Feng Mansion for a month before returning to the palace.
"You are such a smart person." Imperial Noble Concubine Xie understood what Feng Qingchen was thinking as soon as she heard it.
Since Imperial Noble Consort Xie and the Eighth Prince are in Feng Mansion, the Emperor will send a large number of troops to protect them. Given the importance the Emperor places on the Eighth Prince, Feng Qingchen will be safe for the next month.
Feng Qingchen was not at all embarrassed by being exposed, and bowed with a smile: "Please grant me your blessing, Madam."
“How can I not help you?” Imperial Noble Concubine Xie cursed with a smile and asked someone to invite the Emperor.
The emperor has been very busy lately and has no time to visit the harem, but when it comes to the Eighth Prince, the emperor will definitely come in person. There is no other way, because the Eighth Prince can help the emperor avoid disaster.
Without letting Imperial Noble Consort Xie and Feng Qingchen wait too long, the Emperor came to Zhaoyan Palace with a group of people. After Feng Qingchen paid her respects, she quietly glanced at the Emperor and saw that he looked old, with cloudy and red eyes. Feng Qingchen was satisfied.
Seeing that the emperor was not doing well, she felt better.
